Default Quick headlight question

I've been looking at swapping to FF75's... but I saw these two pictures and I am confused... they don't look all the same though both posters claim they're FF75's...

This one looks like they're a bit more rectangular than the FF75's...


These look really rounded on the ends...


They really don't look like the same headlights... I know it says on franker's website that they are FF75's but they just look larger... any help?

Mite just be the picture. You can tell the top ones are round.

there were also other pictures of it... maybe it might just be the picture. what does everyone else think about these? seems like in the second picture they're not lined up right, they look great in the first one and also in these i just found i think... this is pretty much what my car looks like aside from having a sunoco instead of an ultra z hood and having no foglamps (1le deletes)... it'd be killer if someone could do a chop or something..

The ones on the top look bigger. Is there a write up on installing these?

Here are some other pics pulled from franker's site. They look the same closer up.

Not bad, what is this price of those headlights? I think all those pictures look the same, just the angle maybe makes it seem a little different. Since we are talking headlights here.. , good right up on changing sealed beam bulbs for our cars if anyone has not seen this yet...

I just wish someone actually made a badass kit for our cars, stock lights suck on these puppies

The price isn't bad at all. Like $100/pair i think. I found them on summit for $55/pair without any mounting brackets and what not.. Might be able to find them cheaper on ebay.

And i've seen that article before, but you're still stuck with the horrible glass lens with lines all over it. I don't care if my lights look blue or whatever... I just want good lighting in a lens that looks modern. They've come out with third gen clear lenses and HID's... I just can't believe they haven't come out with a NORMAL stock-sized rectangular setup in all the years these cars have been out and seeing how large the market is for them.

Well that is not a bad price and those do have a more "modern' look and im sure the lighting will be great. If you do get this done please post b4 and after pics.

Here's some writeups I found after further searching:

there was another thread i saw a day or two ago with better light output pictures... i'll try and find it. if i can recall it looked a ton better than stock lighting. the only problem which i didn't seem to find out from these threads is whether to go with the "driving lights" or the fog lights. the driving lights from my understanding are like brights... which i'm worried about running as lo-beams. but fog lamps won't have the right beam projection for headlamps I don't think...
